no it would not. they are pro master gardeners. even if the microbes didnt multiply theres still more nutrients and microbes in it then regular water.
did you watch the video? they put in aeration right at 5:01and there living off of the carbs in the compost.
Pretty sure Patty knows what she is doing..
Hey, show us your garden *wink*
You are wrong…if you store it for longer than just a few hours without oxygen it will become anaerobic.
10 days is too long. 16-18 hours is optimal for aerobic compost tea if you do not add extra carbs
Do some research, people read this stuff and take it on board.
Great video. I brew my compost tea for 10 days. I store it forever. Read Howard Garrett.
I agree, I was wondering where the molases was. Definitely get more microbs with carbs in there.
This technique provides a way for the living things that are a key component of compost to travel rapidly into the soil it is poured on. The remaining compost is still compost. It still contains carbon and nitrogen, still has microbes on the surface, and once the water has been poured off and the environment once more contains plenty of air, these little organisms keep right on working.
I would tend to agree with tuco7888. Once the tea goes anaerobic, the amount of time and effort to bring it back exceeds the benefits. The authority on compost tea is Dr Elaine Ingham for forther info.
I agree with what you’re saying, so why don’t you post your own video on making the tea?
